Y/n's pov

I was seated in between Eunwoo and Seoyeon while the rest of the boys were sitting in front of us in the school cafeteria. If I said we were going unnoticed by the other kids , that would truly be an understatement because there wasn't a single soul who passed by without glancing at us. Well all the attention we were getting particularly was because me- I was sitting there in the school cafeteria and that too with school's six princes. The folks who have the cleanest images around the school were sitting with me who was considered as the baddest soul here . I told them that it was a bad idea but none of them listened.

So here I was .

And the school cafeteria was in chaos.

The number of times I came here during my high school can be counted on your fingers. Rooftop had been my cafeteria at the break time since my junior year. Why? Because number one , I didn't had friends back then ( or you can say I didn't trusted anyone to call them friend or whatsoever) and number two, eating alone while being surrounded by people wasn't for my liking.

I could see the confused and baffled faces of the kids there. I guess they were more shocked right then than that day when I was walking down the halls with Eunwoo beside me. They probably think that these people who are sitting with me might have gone insane or something like that. I know these kids have always seen me as an arrogant psycho bitch, you can say. Well that was the facade I had put on to hide my weaknesses , right? It wasn't so good of me to hurt the kids or act like a bully so that they would fear me, was it? Heck no ! So what could I expect in return when I've been a bad person myself?

" It would have been better if I hadn't come here and spent my break time in peace at the rooftop" I muttered.

" Don't pay attention to them , just enjoy the food, yeah?" Seoyeon said.

" It's just that.... you people are getting mean looks because of me. You all are just ruining your perfect images right now " I couldn't help but say what was on my mind.

" We are just eating with a friend , I don't see how that is counted as ruining our so called perfect images" Moonbin said flatly plopping a strawberry in his mouth. I could only sigh in return because I knew I can't convince them.

" Y/n I've told you several times , we don't care about those crappy things, didn't I?" Now this was Eunwoo's turn to retort . I just parted my lips as if I was going to say something back but closed them immediately .

" Noona , you should eat here everyday with us!" Sanha said excitedly with sparkling beagle eyes.

" I don't -" before I could even complete what I was saying , the Jinwoo guy interrupted in between.

" Oh please don't even try to deny. We have merely a month left before we graduate. You should at least experience the normal high school life for the remaining time sweetheart !" he stated in somewhat serious tone but when I looked at him he gave me that famous angelic smile . I replayed his words in my mind again and realised it is actually the right thing to do . I've friends now, not to mention a bunch of idiotic twerps. I should enjoy my high school life for the remaining time leaving the things in past behind. I don't have a reason to behave coldly anymore nor I wanted to neither enjoyed behaving like that.

So with a smile on my face , I spoke the words which surprised everyone " I guess I'll be coming here then"

They looked at me in disbelief for a good whole minute after what I said but then they erupted into cheers.

" We'll make you do everything you've missed till now. You'll see what the actual high school life is" MJ said winking at me.

" And how?" I gave them a questionable look.

" You'll see , we're gonna do that our way" Eunwoo said while looking at the boys like he have achieved something great and they all returned him kinda knowing looks.

" I'm scared now to be honest" I commented but my smile said otherwise.

" Well you should be" Seoyeon grinned ear to ear and all of them bursted into a laughter. Were they making fun of me ? I still don't know , but I couldn't help but laugh with them .

" What class do we have now?" Seoyeon asked as we all were walking out of the cafeteria , not to mention all the stares we were getting . And trust me I wasn't liking it . It was just a matter of seconds for me to turn around with the usual arrogance and glare to shut them up and all the 'theories' they were blabbering to each other would have died down right there, but I chose not to. I continued walking without sparing any of them a single glance.

" We've history right now I guess " the Binnie boy answered to the previously asked question.

" Arghh I'm not in the mood for history right now" Jinjin whined from behind us.

" Me too " Eunwoo pouted , oh god I shouldn't have looked at that face , he looked so adorable and that pout ....oh my ! I suddenly remembered what happened two days ago and I could feel all the blood rushing to my cheeks suddenly. Thanks god , nobody noticed my face which was probably turned into a beetroot by then.

" Neither me" Seoyeon said and then turned her head towards me , I could already see the mischief in her eyes " It's time to have some fun I guess! y/n have you ever slacked off your classes before ?"

Don't tell me they're planning to bunk the classes to have fun , they aren't , right? - that's what I thought but the looks they were exchanging and their mischievous eyes told me otherwise. I shooked my had " I'm not going to do whatever ya'll are planning " I immediately backed off.

" Trust me y/n , you're gonna thank us afterwards" Eunwoo grinned .

" Let's have some real fun " Mj chirped like the happy virus he was.

Well Kim y/n you're doomed , good luck - I told myself.

" Sanha , you are getting late for your class , aren't you?" Moonbin pointed out at the maknae and I could how his goofy face got replaced by a scowling one immediately.

" I'm not gonna study English hyung!" He retorted back immediately and the next moment he looked at us with those puppy eyes which nobody could resist , so his hyungs allowed him to tag along .

*****

The eight of us were walking down the now empty hallways very carefully so that we wouldn't get caught by someone. I glanced back towards our classroom by the end of the empty hallway, that is where I was supposed to be right now. I didn't even knew what I've got myself into , why was I following them !? I cursed under my breath as Eunwoo kept dragging me with him as the others walked ahead of us. I was just praying not to get caught, I haven't done something like this before. In a few minutes we were out of the main building and were heading to the backside of our school building.

" where the fuck are we going!?" I hissed as Eunwoo kept dragging me without even bothering to answer me. I kept looking here and there again and again to ensure if someone was watching us. I didn't even realised when we reached the backside. I stood face to face with some old benches and furniture that was discarded there. I looked at them with a questionable look as to ask why was I standing here in front of that junk? Was it their whole fun thing they were blabbering about?

" Can someone explain me why we skipped our classes in the first place? To see this junk !?" I gritted my teeth.

" Calm down sweetheart , you'll see " Jinjin said placing his hand around my shoulder which was yanked off me as soon as it was placed there

" Hands off " I heard Eunwoo say and I looked up to see him glaring at the boy beside me.

" Oops my bad !" He laughed off while ruffling his hair .

" Okay it's enough of melodrama for now , let's go before we get caught " Rocky said . I looked back at Eunwoo giving him what - the - actual- fuck kinda look but he just shrugged walking away from where I was standing.

Soon I found the rest of the boys shifting an old cupboard sideways and then a door appeared which I wasn't aware of until now. Is this some kind of escape route?

" Welcome to our secret hideout y/n ! " Jinjin who was still standing beside me grinned .

" Woahhh , I never knew that this kinda place even exists in our school until now !" I stated in awe.

" No worries, even I found out about it a week ago when I came here with Moonbin and Eunwoo!" Seoyeon chirped and then dragged me with her inside of what these boys called their secret hideout. It was a storage room which they had turned into their secret hideout, nobody knew about it cause that cupboard was always placed in front of the door. It was a small but cozy place , in short perfect for enjoying your time alone while slacking off your classes. The place was clean and nicely maintained unlike a storage room.There was a large table placed at the end of the room with some cardboard boxes and other stuffs on top of it , which I assumed belonged to them only and beanbags were scattered on the floor. There was a guitar and drums in there as well. I saw a number of polaroids hanging on the wall along with the lights. Some of them were beautiful sceneries while the others were pictures of them , their memories. I looked at each plaroid carefully , all of them looked so happy together .

" I love this place! Ya'll should've told me about it sooner , seriously!" I complained still looking at those polaroids.

" Well you know now !" Eunwoo smiled.

" Hey guys , let's play something !" Mj exclaimed making all of us look towards him.

" Truth and dare !" Seoyeon clapped her hands in excitement.

" Okay we have a soda bottle here, perfect for spinning!" Jinjin said lifting an empty soda bottle in air.

" Let's go" they all cheered in unison.

That's how I skipped my classes for the very first time but I enjoyed every bit of the time I spent with them . I couldn't stop laughing when myungjun danced like a dork . Eunwoo was arguing with the boys about how beautiful his butt was ! No but out of all the things , all he could argue about was his freaking butt ! Oh my god that was hilarious, and not to forget how much embarrassed he was after that.
Ah and I loved it when Sanha played the guitar while Moonbin and Mj sang along it . Truth to be told , Mj's high notes were no joke ! These dorks are so much talented after all.

I realised what I've actually missed all those years after spending time with them , but now I'm ready to make up for everything I've missed. This is what I've decided.

Jesus ! This was such a long ass chapter . But I enjoyed writing it :)

People say high school is one of the best phases of your life. You learn so much during high school . You make mistakes, you get hurt during this age but it's also the time when you live your life to the fullest. High school memories are so precious!
Unfortunately due to covid , I didn't get to enjoy my high school life and sadly it's my last year . Idk , if I'll be able to experience those things this year or not . Well , anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter:)
